The first written document mentioning the location comes from 1298. Until 1918, RUMBURG was part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), in the district of the same name, one of the 94 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Bohemia.[1]

Following a number of years of depression after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the region is now poised to become an industrial center again. Rumburk's economy receives a boost thanks to the presence of automotive industry within its borders.
